25 Engaged to respond to danger Disengaged... Who needs to bother about differential calculus?

31 The Stroop Test a test of response inhibition Say the colour names of the shapes Say the word names Say the names of the colours that the words are printed in ShapesWords

32 pSoBid: Stroop test p<0.001 Age (years) Colour-word score

33 pSoBid: Verbal Learning p<0.001 Age (years) Word recall

34 The Trails Test: a test of executive function Trails ATrails B

35 pSoBid: Trails B p<0.001 Age (years) Seconds

36 pSoBid: Choice reaction time p<0.001 milliseconds Age (years)

37 pSoBid: psychological state All p<0.001 GHQ = General Health Questionnaire; SoC = Sense of Coherence; RSE = Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale; BHS = Beck Hopelessness Scale; GSE = Generalised Self-Efficacy Scale

38 The Dunedin cohort u 1000 children recruited in late 1972/3 u At age 3, at risk children identified on the basis of chaotic circumstances, emotional behaviour, negativity and poor attentiveness u As adults, those at risk were more likely to : –be unemployed –have criminal convictions (especially for violence) –been pregnant as a teenager –have a substance abuse problem –exhibit signs of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome

39 Opportunity to escape poverty, decent housing, social networks, self esteem and sense of control Consistent parenting, safe, nurturing early years, supportive education Health related behaviours
